I have had a rough start to this. I've been having trouble controlling my pain since surgery on May 27th. I finally was able to stop taking the dilaudid the day before yesterday. I was starting to feel better. I have been feeling TERRIBLE all day today. I feel so nauseous (even though I've taken zofran, it improved but didn't go away). I feel light headed and kind of weak. My stomach feels like it's cramping, kind of like a clenching. I have been trying to drink all day. I tried having some puréed food at lunch cuz I thought maybe I was just hungry but it did not help at all. In fact I felt worse after eating. I just want to feel better! I feel so terrible! Any thoughts or tips? I just want it to stop ????

I'm sorry you are having such a rough time getting on track.

I would first suggest that you call your bariatric team, tell them everything that you just posted and let them guide you. They know you better than we do and have the expertise to do something about it.

Sometimes our pain meds can become our enemy. They can raise havoc with our bodies while helping us control our pain. Sometimes our body seems to go into slow motion--including digestion when we are on pain meds. They can also cause severe Constipation.< /p>

If you're concerned enough (rightfully so) to post here, PLEASE give your WL surgeon's office a call.

Post and let us know what they say and how you are feeling.

We care--really we do.

Feel better, friend. :)

Thank you everyone. They kept me overnight in the hospital. I'm still really nauseous even though they keep giving me zofran. The good news is my catscan was fine. They are doing a swallow study tomorrow. So I'll be here atleast another night. I'm hoping my nausea subsides soon because it's awful

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
